FBI’s ‘unprecedented’ Puerto Rico invasion

By

It was more like Normandy than Puerto Rico.

Boarding planes in the middle of the night, hundreds of FBI agents, analysts and examiners flew into Puerto Rico before dawn Wednesday and took down about 130 local police and law enforcement personnel on corruption charges, in what the Justice Department called an “unprecedented” bust.

In all, as many as a thousand FBI personnel took part in Operation Guard Shack, according to FBI and Justice Department officials.

“Agents came from various locations at different times beginning last week and over the weekend,” FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said.

FBI veterans struggled to recall anything remotely comparable to the island-wide raid, which netted 129 of the 133 law enforcement suspects charged with providing protection for drug deals.

If the FBI is interested in fighting the drug trade why don't they go down the street and bust the CIA who have been running drugs into the country for the past 30 years. Congress knows about it, the Senate knows about it, anyone in America with any common sense knows about it and the FBI has to know about it. The drug bust in Puerto Rico is just for the news media and the brain dead American public.

Congratulations to the FBI agents for not getting killed. Now, last I heard Puerto Rico is a free commonwealth with its own justice system, policemen are also local public servants not US Federal employees.

Hopefully this is just the starting of a cleaning in the police force in all US. I don't think that Puerto Rido is the only territory of the USA with this kind of mess in the force. Congratulations and keep up the good job.

This reminds me of a pet chow that I used to have. He was a natural guard dog, never having any formal training. My only complaint was that he didn't seem to mind whose house he guarded. He would stand out in the front yard to let everyone around know that if you breached the property space, you might be at risk. He wasn't aggressive. He was diplomatic. He was also stupid because he would guard my house for a awhile and then go over to my neighbor's house and guard their house for awhile. It didn't occur to him that his loyalty was misplaced.

Should Puerto Rico be provided FBI protection at U.S. expense? Since they are a territory of the U.S., they should be entitled to the same rights and privileges of the other states. But they aren't a state, so they don't have all the rights and privileges of the other states.
And they can't vote in our elections either but they do have to pay taxes to the U.S. The U.S. taxes Puerto Ricans without allowing them representation equal to U.S. citizens residing in the states.

Here's a quiz. Can you think of a country that was once a group of colonies that experienced similar mistreatment as Puerto Rico and, when frustrated by the egregious abuses of the holding nation, declared themselves to be independent of the holding nation and then fought a war with that nation to establish their independence? The colonies then later unified under a common flag, ratified a Constitution, and became the forerunner of what once was considered a bastion of freedom for all throughout the world.

Anyone?
Anyone?

The United States.
So the United States is doing exactly to Puerto Rico what England did to our colonies 200 plus years ago. Why? Because of various Supreme Court decisions and legislative decisions and all the other decisions by our government that, taken together, make absolutely no sense at all because they make absolutely no sense at all. This is what happens when people assume government has any clue or any foundation upon which to function logically. Essentially, government is nothing more than a group of idiots that, quite often, simply wandered into a job and then discovered that no one was watching them work. They could make up rules and no one challenged them. They discovered they could get free money with a good story. They discovered also that they could abuse their power and get away with it. What were they doing? They weren't sure because no one really told them what to do so they could do almost anything they pleased. And they did.

And that's why OUR FBI IS GUARDING PUERTO RICO while the CIA, in cooperation with local police in many major U.S. cities, indirectly distributes more Afghanistan Heroin in the U.S. than any other crime syndicate in the world.
